N61GK

This airframe, N61GK, is a Cessna Citation Encore+ (Model 560) built in 2007 with manufacturer's serial number 560-0771. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by W-R EQUIPMENT LLC, an LLC based in Hauppauge, NY, US. The airframe carries a typical midfleet valuation of $4,000,000 in current listings for similarly equipped examples and has been operated in the business/executive sector consistent with its category as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. No additional historical modifications or major registry actions are published beyond its current ownership and US registration.

The cabin of this Cessna Citation Encore+ (Model 560) is typically completed in an executive configuration seating seven to nine passengers in a center-club layout with a forward refreshment center and an aft lavatory, though the airframe is capable of accommodating up to 11 seats depending on completion. Avionics fit for Encore+ completions is typically the Collins Pro Line 21, providing integrated flight management, navigation and communication suites suited for single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations. Based in Hauppauge, NY, US under its listed owner, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range transcontinental missions consistent with its 1,673 nm range and high-speed cruise of 426 kts, frequently used for business travel, charter hops, and regional executive transport. Maintenance considerations align with twin PW535B engine support and Encore+ specific systems; operator logistics are typical of US-based mid-size business jets.

The Encore+ (Model 560) occupies the light-medium turbofan business jet niche, offering higher speed and altitude performance (service ceiling 45,000 ft) than many earlier Citation models while retaining lower operating costs than larger cabin types. Its competitors include other light to mid-size business jets with similar mission profiles and range, and buyer demand remains steady among owner-operators and charter operators seeking transcontinental capability without the expense of a heavy jet. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on the health of the PW535B engines, avionics standardization such as the Collins Pro Line 21, and completion condition—all factors reflected in the aircraft’s assessed value of $4,000,000.
